About this role, in micro1's words
Job Summary: You'll use your tax expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. The core work is reading US sales and use tax statutes and defining exactly what an AI's formal translation of the law must capture to be correct. Work spans multiple state jurisdictions, with some federal provisions as well. No prior AI experience needed. Your ability to read a statute and break it into precise, testable requirements is what matters.
What you'll do
Key Responsibilities
- Read and interpret sales and use tax statutes and regulations across US state jurisdictions, and occasionally federal tax provisions, at the level of individual subsections.
- Author rubrics: break a section of law into a checklist of discrete requirements the AI's translation must satisfy, grounded strictly in the statute text and written independently of the AI's output.
- Assign severity to each requirement (critical vs. secondary vs. minor) based on genuine statutory weight, not defaulting everything to critical.

- Identify and flag discrepancies, statutory exceptions, and genuine ambiguities in the law.
- Work within a digital review platform, submitting structured written evaluations.

Job Title: U.S based Accountant (CPA/CA)
Job Type: Contract
Location: Remote
Job Summary: You'll use your tax expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. The core work is reading US sales and use tax statutes and defining exactly what an AI's formal translation of the law must capture to be correct. Work spans multiple state jurisdictions, with some federal provisions as well. No prior AI experience needed. Your ability to read a statute and break it into precise, testable requirements is what matters.
Key Responsibilities:
• Read and interpret sales and use tax statutes and regulations across US state jurisdictions, and occasionally federal tax provisions, at the level of individual subsections.
• Author rubrics: break a section of law into a checklist of discrete requirements the AI's translation must satisfy, grounded strictly in the statute text and written independently of the AI's output.
• Assign severity to each requirement (critical vs. secondary vs. minor) based on genuine statutory weight, not defaulting everything to critical.

• Write clear, self-contained test scenarios (including edge cases) for failed criteria, with explicit facts, dates, amounts, and expected outcomes.
• Identify and flag discrepancies, statutory exceptions, and genuine ambiguities in the law.
• Work within a digital review platform, submitting structured written evaluations.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
• Active CPA license, Chartered Accountant designation, or experience as a US tax attorney.
• Sales and use tax or broader state and local tax statutory experience strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to read and interpret tax statutes and regulations, not just prepare returns.
• Comfort working with legal logic: conditions, thresholds, AND/OR structures, exceptions, and defined terms.
• Strong written communication with a focus on precision. Another reviewer should reach the same conclusion from your criteria.
• High attention to detail, especially around "except for" clauses and edge cases.
• Comfort providing structured feedback through a digital review interface.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience across multiple state tax jurisdictions.
• Enrolled Agent designation, or federal tax experience relevant to the scenario-review track.
• Direct experience reviewing or validating AI or technology-driven tax content.
• Background in training teams or giving written feedback on legal/tax language.
• Interest in the intersection of technology and tax compliance.

Alex's experience on micro1A personal account, not a promise about your project
Alexruns this site and has worked on micro1 himself. Written 31 Aug 2026.
- Every interview I took used an AI interviewer, and some included a timed business exercise of around 25 minutes.
- On later applications, interview reuse on micro1 was often partial, and I still answered questions about one to three additional skills.
- I entered a requested rate for the job. One listing showed about $180 an hour. I requested about $160 and received the rate I entered. Those amounts are approximate, and this describes my application, not proof that a lower request caused acceptance.
- Onboarding and setup came to about 2 hours, with clear materials. Of the three platforms I worked on, it was the easiest transition into work. That is an estimate from my projects, not a platform average.
- On my micro1 project, Hubstaff showed time and mouse or keyboard activity, not screenshots, app names or website history. That describes what I saw, not every possible setup.
- I was paid for hours logged, once every 14 days, and I have not experienced late or incorrect payments. That was my arrangement.
